Au Revoir Tristesse

A SERIES OF FIVE BAGATELLES FOR SOLO CLASSICAL GUITAR.
Inspired by Françoise Sagan's novel "Bonjour Tristesse", Joseph created a series of five Bagatelles for solo classical guitar while in the midst of touring his acclaimed 2023 album "Lucia". Subtitled, "a homage to sadness in 5 movements," each piece has a companion painting by Steve Wickham (The Waterboys). Au Revoir Tristesse was mounted as an exhibition in the Axis Theatre in Dublin in January 2025 as part of the First Fortnight Festival.


A completely self-taught guitarist having picked up the classical guitar for the first time in 2021, in 2024 Joseph was privileged to be invited to perform at a public masterclass with Xuefei Yang, one of the world's greatest living classical guitar virtuosos. Also in 2024 he was awarded a Master Musicien, Ingénieur du Son by the prestigious Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique et de Danse de Paris.
